    I just don’t get why university students put all their energy on problems long away and overseas when they don’t take up activism to make their own country better

      Nobody organizes sit-ins and protests for the homeless… Because when they have nobody showed up.

      Up to 45k people die of homelessness every year in the USA. Nobody cares about them. It infuriates me.

        Don’t actually bring up reasonable topics, people might get outraged.

        I’ve been trying for quite some time to understand what drives the social outrage Zeitgeist, at the moment much of it seems like TikTok.
